The best pecorino cheese in the world comes from Tuscany. The best pecorino cheese in Tuscany comes from Pienza: Pecorino di Pienza. Even in Italy one must go to Pienza to obtain Pecorino di Pienza. We must have brought 50lbs back with us. At least.
Aside from cheese, Pienza is a beautiful hilltop village in the southern Chianti hills in the province of Sienna. Tourism has been good to Pienza, most buildings are in good repair, and the town is far too small for cars. The people are friendly, the food is delicious, and the views are fantastic. What more could anyone want?
Lydia loved it and said if she ever goes back to Italy, she wants to stay here.
